We're going through these fast! Thought seen as we were filling up the last thread fast I'd attempt a new thread, not sure how to copy our due date list over though... Could someone else do that?

Yep, dildocam is for the earlier stages when it's harder to see with the abdominal one. Yesterday she did the abdomen one, which is the full bladder one. And the dildo one too, just for fun. (It was moving so much she wanted to count its limbs more clearly with that one!).

I cried earlier because I ate some pizza that burned my mouth. Going to be great at this childbirth thing, I can see!

Just had a quick catch up but couldn't read&run without saying I'm so sorry blueberry and duggi. Hope you're getting lots of support in rw.

bumpbangbump · 12/03/2014 22:22

So sorry blue and duggi!

ExcitedCJ · 12/03/2014 22:37

Thanks Kirsti, STIGZ, Binky & Portico I feel much more normal now.
Apart from wanting to literally inhale a very musky candle up my nose this evening I have gotten away unscathed. I had smell aversion with DD, this time I am obsessed with heavy, musky smells.

So sorry to hear about those who've had losses.

Been lurking and not posting as moved house last Friday and it nearly finished me off. Pre-moving def worse as at least now there's no deadline to get all the boxes unpacked!

Off to London today for the Harmony test - could have had it done closer to home but more cost effective to fly to London for it - how crazy is that? Downside is I'm going on my own as DH can't come today.

I'm 10+6 and trying to keep a lid on the fears of how the viability scan will go as I had a missed miscarriage before my DS1. Argh ! Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

bumpbangbump · 13/03/2014 07:17

Will be thinking of you run. Good luck.

mum2kiss · 13/03/2014 07:17

Fx for you run !

ohthegoats · 13/03/2014 07:30

Good luck Run.

I'm ill.. have a massive cold, sore throat, annoying cough.. been awake since 2.10. Seems a bit unfair that I only got 1 day without debilitating nausea, before getting otherwise ill.

mrsb87 · 13/03/2014 07:55

Ugh ohthegoats how irritating. Hope you feel better soon. Colds are no fun anyway let alone when you're pregnant and nauseous and exhausted anyway!

I have some visitors today which is exciting! My lovely SIL and baby niece Bethan are coming to cheer me up. 4 days vom free so far and counting, woopwooop!

Good luck rundmc!

Kirstipops · 13/03/2014 08:16

Good luck Run! Had never heard of this harmony test til I started reading this thread, must Google it.
Hope you feel better soon ohthegoats, the air-con has been on the blink in my work for the last 6 weeks and it's FREEZING, we have a glass roof which doesn't help, I'm really hoping to avoid a cold!

gunwalloe · 13/03/2014 08:28

Good luck today run and anyone else having scans today

kirstipops theres a thread on here about harmony that you can read a few of us on this thread are having it done.

Its foggy here today wheres spring gone :(

tak1ngchances · 13/03/2014 08:46

Yes I am having harmony blood test on Monday and then nuchal scan with the same place...it's £400 for everything

Me23 · 13/03/2014 08:51

run good luck for today.
ohthegoats sorry you're feeling I'll colds are just evil when pregnant as you can't take anything but paracetamol.
mrs great news you've been vom free for a few days long may it continue.

Have my friend coming to do my booking this afternoon should get my scan date too. Feeling exhausted and nauseous today so far this pregnancy has followed my previous 2 in that I had virtually no symptoms until 8 weeks then the exhaustion and nausea kick in. I must curb the eating though I've put on 7lbs since my bfp!

queenasanti3 · 13/03/2014 09:06

Hi all,
I had to go back the hospital again yesterday for repeat bloods as I had a letter to say they had an insufficient amount to test my blood group (think they prob just lost it to be honest).
Two weeks to go till 12 week scan feeling excited, iam not actually in work at the moment as still on maternity so its been pretty easy to keep a secret, I don't go back till iam 18 weeks, just been wondering when do you think I should tell them ???

Loulou888 · 13/03/2014 09:18

Does your midwife book you in for a scan at your booking appointment? I seem to remember having to wait for a letter from the hospital.

Me23 · 13/03/2014 09:30

Different places do things differently lou I'm just getting my mw friend to do it as I didn't go through my gp as I'm a midwife at the hospital I'm booking with so able to self refer.

mrsb87 · 13/03/2014 09:30

lou I think it differs wherever you live. I got a letter from the mat unit the same day I got my booking in appt

Loulou888 · 13/03/2014 09:34

Okay thanks wishing the next few weeks would fly by. I haven't decided which hospital yet, I've had one at each and had a better experience with my dc2 but the hospital is further away.

Grannyapple · 13/03/2014 09:48

queen I am in the same boat as you. Due back on 23rd April when I'll be 14 wks & defo showing.

I really want to tell them before I go back (hoping to do so at around 10 wks), in part to avoid the embarrassment on my part! But DS is due to have an op in a few weeks & I gave a feeling it may interfere with my return to wirk date so will want to postpone it due a week if I can.. Waiting to get the date through to then decide if I tell work at same time as request to delay return to work for DS's op...

Wiggy29 · 13/03/2014 09:50

I've put on about 10lbs if that makes you feel better! Not worried though as always put on more than guidelines but always lose it straight after, I think bfing really helps.

Midwife app today,it actually seems to be flying by,think because busy with dc1&2 plus work/ house renovations.

No sickness until about 6 in the evening, then feel better by about 9. Worst is that I seem to have it overnight which means if I wake for the toilet, there's no chance of getting back to sleep.

Wiggy29 · 13/03/2014 09:52

Also, no scan date yet but moved recently so not sure if system where we live now.

queenasanti3 · 13/03/2014 10:15

Oh grannyapple, I don't know why but I feel afraid to tell work, iam thinking possibly tell them after the scan so thats gives them all a few weeks to have their gossip and by the time iam back it will be old news, I feel like ive been naughty and iam owing up to doing something bad dont know whats wrong with me but its making me feel really nervous Confused

Grannyapple · 13/03/2014 10:51

Ha ha queen I feel the exact same...& also at 38 I feel I should know better, but hey go, is what it is.

One of my friends says I might get a few comments if "is there no tv in your house? "Grin. Another friend also told me get colleague returned to work to then need time off the following week for her 20 wk scan, so it happens more if term than we think!

magichandles · 13/03/2014 11:22

I'm weirdly stressed about telling my Mum I'm pregnant again - I have no idea why and I'm really putting it off! I was chatting to her this morning and it feels really odd not to say anything, but I just couldn't make myself!

I had my worst day yesterday - just felt terrible all day and was in bed by 8. I do feel better today so far, managed to get out and run some errands this morning and take DC2 to the playground so I feel fully justified in flopping for the rest of the day if I need to! DH is out tonight, so I'm really hoping I don't feel crap!

STIGZ · 13/03/2014 11:38

I have got booking appt got 2nd april and scan is on the 7th april

So i'll b 11 weeks before i even see the midwife, this is my second pg so maybe thats why im not seeing mw till then??

Thought i would have seen her/him by now?
